Great distinction. I'd also like to add that it's important to do both and be comfortable with it. You can't 'train' for goals all year round every year, as flexibility and periods of lower intensity (off-season) are important here too.
I think “training” may not have an immediate goal but it does contain a progressive approach that is challenging and maintains the challenge every workout. I’d also add that training is not only physical but involves technical preparation and also skills development.

Great point, Niamh! Well said.
Good article.
My next post is on a similar subject.
